yeah, i did re-add it.  now i think i'm gonna take it back out and leave it to
jdk 1.3 users to specify it's location on their own.  i'm working with a
limited knowledge and understanding of these license concerns and would just
rather avoid the issue. :)

fails?  i see it has some warnings, but i don't think those actually affect
the output.  anyway, i'll add a note about it and a dummy xerces.jar property
to build.properties to go with the jdbc.jar one.

no thanks.  i'd rather make it a little, reasonable extra work to keep using
jdk 1.3.  as a general principle, i prefer to give people one more reason to
upgrade instead of taking on hackish workarounds like this.  we don't want to
abandon them, but why pander to them?
